Bump Growth Spurt - Feeling Uncomfortable

Did your belly grow gradually or did you go through growth spurts?

Throughout the entire 2nd tri, I've noticed that my belly will look about the same for a few weeks and then BAM! from one day to the next it's much bigger.  I also weigh myself daily (I've always had this habit) and, similarly, I'll notice that my weight will be the same for about three weeks and then from one day to the next I'll gain 2-3 lbs.  This happened again recently in the past couple of days and I've been feeling very uncomfortable.  If I don't sit up perfectly straight at all times, I feel some discomfort in my ribs between my boobs and the belly and it even hurts a little towards the right side.  I think this is from my bra digging into my ribs when I'm sitting in a more relaxed position (like on the couch).  But, I've already gotten bigger bras and extenders so they're not tight at all.  Is this an indication of what the third tri is like?

    well, that and being able to breathe less, not being comfortable sitting, standing, walking, lying down, etc... and also the baby will be positioned in the weirdest parts under bones you didn't know existed.  Or touching your ribs and pelvis at the same time.

    It's fun :-D

    Yes, I noticed the lack of breath after walking around the school the other day.  It was just from my old office to my new office and I didn't even take the stairs; I took the elevator!

    I was really uncomfortable all last week especially when I was laying down. No matter what side I laid on I was feeling all sorts of small pains in my belly. I ended up having to sleep sitting up. It's passed now but I noticed that my belly is a little bigger and harder throughout since then.

    Yup, that sounds about right! Growth spurts occur commonly. Definitely, the digging into ribs and such are a hallmark of the 3rd trimester, besides increased fatigue, worsening acid reflux, and the feeling of carrying a bowling ball in your stomach. ;)
